L'Oliveto is a place where the soul can unwind, creativity can flow, and a deeper connection with nature is fostered. Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, this beautiful estate was thoughtfully restored by Françoise, who infused the spirit of Renaissance villas and the sustainable principles of permaculture into every corner. It is a space designed to nourish the mind, body, and spirit.
Surrounded by expansive olive groves, fragrant gardens, and views of the Tuscan hills, L’Oliveto offers both intimate, cozy rooms and plenty of outdoor space. Whether you choose to relax in the garden, gather around the long table with friends, or enjoy the rhythms of nature, every moment at L’Oliveto is an invitation to reconnect with what matters most — time.

With every detail thoughtfully crafted to balance beauty, sustainability, and comfort, L’Oliveto is not just a retreat — it’s a sanctuary where peace, inspiration, and the beauty of Tuscany harmonize.
